Damien wasn't slowing down; he dashed to the Sky High Hotel opening ceremony.
His mom's sickness has gotten worse; he asked Megan for some money, but she refused, and now the situation has reached the death line.
The doctor personally threatened to kick his mom out this time. He must find the money, or his mom will be kicked out of the hospital.
He reached the entrance, and two security men were standing like heavy statues.
Damien knows they won't allow him inside since he doesn't have an invitation, but they would grant him access if he mentioned his wife's name.
"Gentlemen, my wife is inside. Her name is Bernard Megan.
They look at Damien with frowning faces and wonder, Who does this moron plan to deceive? They couldn't believe somebody would try to play such a trick at this luxury event.
The Bernard family won the contract for the interior design of the sky-high hotel, and they were given the privilege to organize the opening ceremony; only the most wealthy people were invited.
There is no way this pauper can be part of the Bernard family.
One of them stepped forward and pushed Damien to the ground.
"I am giving you three seconds to leave this place, or you won't recognize yourself after today."
Damien's eyebrows push down as he stands to his feet. He knows he wasn't wearing something expensive; he barely had time, which is why he wore a short trouser and t-shirt, but at least a guard shouldn't look down on him.
"I am telling you the truth. My name is Damien. You can go inside and confirm it yourself, or notify Megan of my presence."
"Hahahaha"
The men laugh at Damien's words; they have never seen this madness before. This psycho thinks he can play games with them.
"This is your last warning. I am-"
"Is it so hard to do? I am telling you the truth. Go inside and confirm if I am lying. I am Megan Bernard's husband!"
The man wanted to push Damien again, but Damien evaded his hands and sent a punch in his face.
He knows these men won't let him inside, and they won't obey his words.
The last thing he wants is to delay time with these baboons.
Damien forced his way inside after taking down the monkeys at the entrance.
He marched to the main door of the banquet, and some security men followed him from behind.
Damien increased his pace; he couldn't let them catch him. He dashed inside the hall, and five men followed him inside.
His footsteps got the crowd's attention, and his eyes saw Megan.
She was talking to somebody who can only be described as a king's son.
Damien wanted to mention her name when the security guards seized him.
"Come here, you bastard."
Damien struggled with them and screamed.
"Let me go!!. I've told you already. I am Bernard Megan's husband!"
His screams finally drew everybody's attention to him. They stopped what they were doing and watched the HD scene.
Damien put the men to the ground in seconds. They were not matched for him due to his burning desire to save his mother.
"Megan. My mother's sickness has gotten terrible. You promised to give me the money when you come back, but they have stopped treating her. I need the money now."
Damien said as he approached Megan.
The Bernard family faces blankly seeing Damien and the manner in which he entered.
He disgraced them to the core, not only Megan.
Grandfather Bernard regrets marrying both of them because Megan is pregnant.
It's her fault anyway; they tried to force her to abort the baby, but she refused. With that rage, he married his granddaughter off to this barbarian; now look at what he has done.
The Bernard family was sparkling in everybody's eyes, but Demian has thrown mud on them.
"Stop that bastard."
He mutters to the family members close to him.
Some of the family blocked Damian from reaching Megan.
Security, take this bastard away."
Damien's heartbeat increased; he knew he couldn't fight the family. He needs to get Megan's attention, but she just stands there without saying anything.
"Megan, please give me the money. I need-"
"Slap"
"Shut your mouth, you lifeless human being; do we know you? How did you even enter this place?"
Mrs. Doris quickly moved to shut down Damien.
What a horrible humiliation this is.
In front of this magnificent man, her daughter was taking all the spotlight, but this madman had to come ruin it, just like he ruined their lives a few weeks ago.
The gentleman standing close to Megan pointed at Damien.
"Do you know him?"
Megan looks at Damien in disgust. She hates him to the bone. He ruined her life by spiking her drink and taking her virginity, and then she got pregnant for him.
The grandfather was merciless with his decision; he married them since she refused to abort the baby.
Megan lost everything because of Damien's actions. She wishes he could just disappear from her life, but she has promised to give him the money for his mom's treatment.
"he-"
"He is Megan's driver."
Lady Helen cut Megan off.
"So you don't recognize your driver anymore?"
She doesn't want Megan to say something stupid. Her most beautiful granddaughter has been doing stupid things recently.
She was beaming when she saw the attention Megan was getting. Her birthday is coming soon, and with this kind of attention, more of her admirers will attend and shower her with gifts just to put in some good words for them.
"He is Megan's driver!"
She raised her voice.
Damien wasn't surprised by Lady Helen's words. He knows she can do worse than this.
He was frightened because Megan wasn't saying anything. She is the last hope he has in saving his mom.
"Megan please. You promised to help me. Right now, my mom is not receiving any treatment."
The gentleman's face squeezed.
"Why is this pauper still allowed to talk? Please take him out immediately!" Mrs. Doris shouted.
"Security! What are you doing? Get this madman out of here."
Damien decided to force his way to Megan. He knows she is angry with him, but he too was set up.
Nobody listens to him; they all judge him wrongly. Why would he want this kind of life?
Living with these wicked people is like living in hell; he wishes he could squash them with his hands.
Damien pushed some of the family members away, but the security men seized him.
It took six security men to fully stop his movement. They dragged him on the floor, and he kept calling Megan's name, but she refused to say anything.
Megan brought out her phone when Damien was dragged out. She wanted to enter the transfer app when Lady Helen held her hands.
"If you dare send that bastard money, You will leave this family with nothing but the clothes you are wearing."
That bastard has humiliated them enough; his mom can die; she doesn't care; he is not the first person to lose his mom anyway.
Megan drops her phone.
Damien's tears covered his vision, and they pushed him out of the hotel premises. The security men pushed him forward.
"If you step a foot on this boundary again, consider yourself a dead man."
Damien stares at the floor. He lacked the strength to challenge the security men; he was still shivering with his head full of thoughts.
"What am I going to do now? How am I going to raise $50000 before the end of today?"
He murmured with a heavy heart.
At that moment, some cars stopped in front of him, and a group of men rushed out of the car and forced him inside. He didn't even have the strength to talk, let alone fight.
He thought he had been kidnapped.
"Let me go! You got the wrong person; I'm not who you think I'm please."
The men didn't say a word to him, as he continues.
"Please, I'm begging you; nobody will pay you even if it's 1 dollar. Don't waste your strength."
He couldn't say anymore words when some of the men looked at him; their eyes were deadly. He decided to shut his mouth, afraid of death.
*
The cars stopped at the beach, and one of the men in the other car walked towards Damien.
"Take a walk with me."
He simply obeyed.
" Sir... I'm just a-"
He froze when the man bowed before him and said,
"Young Master! We've finally
found you! Sorry for kidnapping you; we don't want anyone to see us together."
Damien furrowed his brow and asked suprisely.
"You got the wrong person. I'm just a nobody,"
The man smiles again. "You are the young master...."
Damien startled slightly and
murmured,
"You must be mistaken! I'm not who you think I am."
He grimaced sorrowfully and said, "Young Master, your father, Lord Barron, is deeply sorry about what happened. At a very young age, someone tried to take your life three times, but he failed, and the last attempt cost the life of your mother. Lady Emma Lord Barron couldn't afford to lose his heir, so he faked your death just to keep you safe and find who was behind Lady Emma's assassination."
Damien couldn't move or say anything as he listened.
"He handed you over to his loyal maid. Both of you had an accident on your way back from her hometown; she died on the spot, and you weren't found. We have been looking for you ever since then."
Damien couldn't get his head around what the man was saying.
He was still in disbelief.
"How are you sure I'm the man you're looking for?"
"We did our investigations, just to further confirm it. We took your blood at the hospital and did a DNA test, and it was confirmed on our way here. You are Lord Barron's only son."
The man taps Damien's shoulder.
"Lord Barron knows you have suffered hardship all these years. He wants me to protect you, and he also wants you to keep your identity safe for the moment. Those people after your life might still be around the corner."
Damien's eyebrows raised a little. His life is still not safe. He wanted to say something when the man tapped his arms.
"Don't worry, we will protect you. Nobody will lay a finger on you."
"Take this card; the pin is your birthday." He handed over the
Premium Gold Card from Royal Crown Bank
Damien's hands were shaking as he received the black golden card; he knew what it meant, and he could see the turn his life was taking.
The man could see the look on Damien's face. He must explain everything to the young master.
"There are only five of these cards in this country."
"Can we discuss all this later? I have so many things to ask, but not now."
Damien remembered his mom at the hospital; he couldn't keep her waiting, and time was against him. Now that he has money, he should rush to the hospital and make payment immediately.
"I am going to Bliss Angel Hospital to save my mom."
The man hesitated before he spoke.
"Young master, don't trouble yourself about that. We will take you there."
"Don't worry about that. I will enter a taxi."
Damien couldn't get his head straight. Some minutes ago, he thought he was being kidnapped. Now he's the heir to the Barron family.
"Young master, if you experience any issue, just call me; in fact, Bliss Angel Hospital belongs to the Barron group. You're the owner!"
Damien's jaw slacked; he almost went crazy.
"What!!"
He still couldn't get his head around this. It was as if he were dreaming, and He didn't want to wake up from it.
"Young master, please take this card and my number in case you need anything."
"How much is on this card?"
Damien asked
"Lord Barron said he deposited some pocket money for you. It's not much, just one billion dollars."
"One billion dollars!"
He was shocked. His eyes opened widely.
He has heard of the Barron family before; rumors say they are the hidden kings of Blue Island, and they are based aboard.
If one billion dollars is just pocket money, then the Barron family should be worth over ten trillion dollars.
The Master said you should keep your identity hidden; he fears those after your life might strike again. Use the money for your living expenses."
with an alarming look on Damien's face. The man continues.
Oh, I almost forgot, Blue Isno Largest investment company, the Globex Corporation, with a market value of 500 billion dollars, had been wholly moved under your care. Lord Barron wants you to get some experience in managing a company. All the equities are now under your name."
Damien listened to him in a daze, completely in disbelief. A premium gold card with one billion
dollars, Globex Corporation, with a net worth of $500 billion
dollars!
He was finding everything interesting.
"What about my identity? If I start going to work, people might notice me."
"Young master, you don't need to be present at work every day; the company directors will report the company's activities to you; yours is to learn."
He could see the worried look on the master's face.
"Young Master, take your time to settle down; I will inform the director of Bliss Angel Hospital of your coming."
"What is your name?"
He bows his head.
"Benjamin! Young master, your taxi has arrived."
Damien entered the taxi; he knew the person he called mom wasn't his biological mother, but she has always provided him with anything he asks for. He thought his mother died in that car accident; he couldn't remember much, and Benjamin just said she wasn't his true mom but a loyal maid.
"Take me to Bliss Angel Hospital."
" Now"
Damien walked to the lady at the front desk.
"I'm here to make payments; I have the money now!"
"what!! Are you still here? Are you here to plead for more time? You shameless scumbag!"
Damien remembers the voice; it was the doctor who had been abusing him. He quickly turned to face him.
"No. I'm here to-
"oh! You're here to plead with us to treat your mother for free! You are more shameless than I thought; you come every day to plead for more time; now you want to ask for free treatment; do you think we do charity work here?"
"No!, I-"
"No what!"
He looks at Damien, disgusted.
"I have said it all this time; you're only after your mother's life insurance!. What a useless son you are. We kicked your mom from the care unit; she's currently in the floor unit; maybe she is already dead; I know you don't care anyway. You're probably happy now!"
Everybody in the hospital was looking at Damien; some of them whispered among themselves.
"He's such a useless son."
"What kind of son is this?"
"He and his mother should be kicked out this minute. I hate seeing poor people."
Damien didn't care about their words; he couldn't believe what the doctor said, but they said she would be moved tomorrow. What happened to that plan?
He quickly ran to the floor unit, his heart pounding along the way. "What if she is..."
With a relief look on his face, he knew she was still alive.
He screamed as he came closer.
"mother!! Please hold on; I'm going to pay for your surgery and treatment now; just hold on a little longer!"
He runs to the cashier.
"Take! This is my card; I want to make a full payment and upgrade her unit to the best VIP room you have."
Everybody looked at him with surprise; they couldn't believe what he was saying.
Doctor Patrick couldn't hold his laughter; he couldn't believe these stupid boy's words.
"You must be stupid; you are very stupid! So you really want your mom to die-are you even human? Playing with your mom's life like it's a game"
Damien didn't listen to Patrick's words; he faced the cashier and said
"I will handle the bills now!"
The cashier was shocked by Damien's words: Someone who couldn't afford a million dollars wants to book the best Unit.
Can he even afford the normal unit? She looks at Damien in disbelief.
"Our best unit is the VIP Luxurious Room, which will cost you One million dollars."
Patrick's cheeks moved; he wanted to say something, but Damien's words shocked him.
"Too cheap, but I will make payments; my mom will have to manage it."
Damien handed the card to her; she slotted the card in, and to her greatest surprise, the payment was successful.
With a surprising look, she faces Doctor Patrick.
"The payment was successful, Doctor Patrick."
Everyone, including Patrick, froze; they couldn't believe the worthless boy had just paid one million dollars.
Where did he get such money?
Patrick voiced out
"How are we so certain this card wasn't stolen?"
Damien wanted to utter something when the chief director of Bliss Angel entered the scene.
He bows 90 degrees immediately.
Sorry, Sir Damien, for the inconveniences this fool might have cost you."
He quickly ordered the nurses around.
"What!! Are you still doing here? Take Sir Damien's mother to the VIP unit this minute!"
Doctor Patrick is dumbfounded; he can't believe the director was here and he was talking to the useless boy.
Is this a dream?
"Sir... Damien, please forgive me for coming late. I ran as fast as my legs could carry me; please don't be offended; I deserve to be punished; please give me any punishment that befits me."
Director Billy was shocked when he got a call from Benjamin informing him that Lord Barron's son was on his way, and he told him to keep his identity safe.
Doctor Patrick couldn't believe his eyes; if director Billy is begging this man to punish him, he must be the bigshot, but how is that even possible? He tries to understand the scene, but it is getting more complicated.
He rushed to Damien and went on his knees.
His voice was quavering.
"please... Sir Damien, please... I don't know what came over me; I wasn't thinking straight. Please forgive me."
Damian was angry for the insult and humiliation he got from Dr. Patrick. He clenched his fists and landed a heavy slap on Patrick's face.
"slap"
"Why are you sorry?"
"I'm sorry for insulting you... Sir"
Damian slapped another slap on Patrick's face.
"Slap"
"Slap"
Patrick's face turned red.
"I will ask you again why you are sorry!"
This time Patrick was feeling the heavy slap on his face, and tears were dropping from his eyes.
"please... Forgive me, my lord. I'm sorry for looking down on you. Please forgive me just this once."
"slap!"
"slap!"
"slap"
"slap"
Blood burst out from his nose, and as he fell to the floor,
"I will ask you for the very last time, why are you sorry?"
"I'm sorry for calling you a thief; I'm sorry for all those insults; I'm sorry for kicking your mother out of the room; I'm sorry!"
director Billy was shocked when he heard Patrick kick Damien's mother out of the care unit. He quickly pounded on him.
"I will kill you today, Sir Damien. Please don't waste your strength on this dead man; let me kill him myself."
Damien was satisfied; his mind was at peace now. He turned to director Billy.
"Bad Eggs like Patrick can't work in a big organization like this."
Billy nods his head; he clearly understands what Damien is saying, and he knows exactly what to do.
"Go get your stuff, you bastard; you're dismissed, and I will make sure no other hospital employs you. Billy ordered the security guard to kick him out.
The cashier was still in shock; she couldn't get her head around what just happened.
Who is this man? She thanks her stars she didn't look down on him.
Damien's mind was at ease; his mother was receiving treatment, and Mr. Patrick was gone. He faced Billy.
He decided not to go home that day. Megan and her family might be waiting for him because of the scene he created at the ceremony, but this time he won't take nonsense from anybody.
"Lead the way to the VIP unit; I want to see my mom."
Billy quickly pointed in the VIP elevator's direction.
"This way, Sir, please follow me."
Billy was thanking his stars, he didn't get any punishment for coming late.
